Lovely afternoon/evening. Tough to start - very hot and bright. Once it cooled down a bit there was some really good action. All caught on dries - adams, cdc shuttlecock, griffiths gnat, little para thing. Towards the end there were fishy dimples everywhere but couldn't figure out what they were supping - in retrospect I think it was spent sherry spinners.

Tricky days fishing as it was very hot and bright, the river was at a good level but the fish weren't playing.
I caught 1 chub of about 5lb touch ledgering on some luncheon meat.

Well , what a super little stream! Dont know how I missed this one for so long and have driven over it many many times on the way to the Rhayader AA's running waters (great fun btw!) and thought better give it a go after reading of JA's exploits this year !
So , nice one JA : ) .
Parking is just great ,one of the best, loads of room though the main gate into the field was padlocked and meshed till about halfway up . Look up to your left though and you'll see a gate into the wood there , adjacent to that is an easily scaled gate into field.
Rather socked in and well fenced initially (mainly slab rock water down in there anyway) but soon gets easier and accessible.
Then its riffle ,run, pool on up and some surprisingly deep pools too ! No real issues moving around and upwards either. Great.
Water pushing through v nicely , though carrying some colour still by the looks after the recent rain no doubt.
Quiet with any fly etc on top (dog days are here !?) but speculative casts with a 16 cdc & elk got good interest.
I got on just fine with a 7'6" 2 wt.
Lots of tiny olive nymphs on the stones and loads of midge larvae , which I suppose is a good or not so good thing ? A few caddis.
A beautiful place and just amazingly peaceful, even the ever present sheep seemed not to want to exercise their vocal chords at all.
Fantastic , that'll more than do me....
Only got up to just past the Elan pipes today (which are huge & very impressive btw..all that water rushing its way downhill to my tap sometime) and had 7 very fit little jewels to hand so v happy with that . Much looking forward to a return asap and then get further on up too.
